    I got ripped off again

    i bought a 2006 gmc denail motor that had about 19,000 miles on it. it was complete ready to go with wiring harness and everything. 2 weeks later i was like well where is it. so i called him he said the wiring harness was broke and cut so he had to get me a new one but it was the wrong one so he has another motor for me a 2005 chevy 2500 motor that is "clean enough to eat off of" and has 10,000 miles on it. They sent me a 2003 with 47xxx on it and some wires are cut.
    here are some pics of everything. He will send me a new harness but the thing that makes me mad is its not the 05 with 10,000 miles on it

    Where did you get this engine from? Call them back and tell them you want the 05. Which one did you pay for though? And why is there oil coming out of the TB?

    autoworksinc.com off of ebay. the guy asked if we could not do this on ebay to cut cost. so we did

    i called and talked to the guy who sold it and the owner. they both said can we give you 500 back and send u the cut parts. i said no because this is not the 05 motor with 10k miles now he is mad because the guy who sold it said o no i told him it was from a 2003.

    red told me to contact the DA of where i bought the motor. and i think thats what im going to do . isn't this the bait and switch??

    and the oil out of TB hm he said thats normal, i said no its not. either a this motor was in a roll over or b. he put oil it in before he shipped why i do not know

    They owe you money or the correct engine. Is it a 5.3 or 6.0L? It has a 80e flywheel. I'd get my money back and never buy a engine from up north, salt corrodes everything even the powder coating on the blocks.

    i think they sold the motor i bought so they found this from another shop and sent it to me. how can i tell if its a 6.0.. i looked around on the motor didn't see anything that says 6.0 or w/e on it. the tag said 2003 GMC Serria 6.0 but that is just on paper. is there something on the block that says it.

    it should say what it is on the right side of motor right below the area where the head and block come into contact... written on the block if i'm not mistaken.....
